Well, I cannot contain myself any longer ...

What you are experiencing is ETHANOL BLENDED GASOLINE SYNDROME.

- https://www.carburetor-parts.com/pro...r-from-ethanol

Is the car a survivor/restoration and/or is it used as a driver? You're wanting to keep as FACTORY ASSEMBLED?

The 1st thing to do is carb(s) tear-down to see if any internal damage from ethanol. Use only ETHANOL RATED CARB KITS and any rubber fuel lines.

Have you checked the fuel filter for tank rust?

You are working with a MULTI-CARB SETUP and is much more difficult to get in tune than a single carb.

The 2nd thing to do is take the CHI-CON points and condenser out and throw them as far as you can into an open field. Use PERTONIX IGN II.

And it is very disrespectful to come on here asking for advice and not showing photos of a GENUINE 1962 GALAXIE G-CODE ... (cover your plates and PATENT PLATE)

... tsk ... tsk ... tsk ...
